Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BB149A is a variable capacitance diode, fabricated in planar technology and
encapsulated in the SOD323 very small SMD plastic package. The excellent matching
performance is achieved by gliding matching and a Direct Matching Assembly (DMA)
procedure.
1.2 Features and benefits
Excellent linearity
Excellent matching to 2 % DMA
Very small SMD plastic package
